The first acts for Music City 2016 have been unveiled – and it's shaping up to be a cracker!
Derry will host the gathering for the fourth time, with hometown hero SOAK assuming headline duties. She's joined at the top of the bill by The Strypes, as Cavan's finest return to the walled city following a world tour supporting their chart-topping Little Victories.
Saint Sister make their debut, while Girls Names make a long-awaited return to Derry. There's plenty more superlative Irish talent on show as R.S.A.G, Bitch Falcon and Overhead, The Albatross also take their place on the line-up, while international interest is represented by trad-fusion sensations The Willis Clan.
David Kitt, Malojian, Best Boy Grip, The Clameens, Strength and Triggerman are among the others set for the July 4 - 10 extravaganza; the full line-up, along with ticket details, will materialise later this month.
